Still getting to grips with my new routine but overall it's good. Just trying to cram in some more art stuff so I have a proper output other than my daily sketch.
GIMP was freezing every couple of seconds for some reason which made it almost impossible to focus on the sketch but I managed something mostly OK.

Back from my holiday yesterday but work was super long today I was so tired. Didn't have the energy to do anything but this and then I'm gonna sleep.

A nice streak of cute sketches since I've been back from my holiday. Although I feel my style is getting a bit messed up, the consistency is more of an issue that I'm focusing on now.
Talking of consistency, I managed to not only recover my normal schedule very quickly on coming home, but I'm also managing to get all my daily tasks done quite regularly now. And I'm definitely feeling the good effects from it now, I'm getting lots of stuff done as well as exercise so I'm expecting to see some good results across the board.
The only main issue with my schedule now, is waking up early, for some reason that's still rather difficult no matter what time I go to sleep.
I'm almost at 100 proper sketches since I started the daily sketch whcih is awesome.

Productivity still seems to be on the rise, even when I lose time in the mornings I seem to get into the tasks a bit better now rather than moping over lost time.

Had a rough patch of un-motivatedness but managed to pull through. Having a target of small things to reach each day gives you a quick sense of positiveness and fulfilment, which can help lift depressive episodes.
I also found, can't remember if I mentioned it before, that rather than rushing, working very slow and methodical actually results in greater productivity because you don't wear yourself out and can actually focus clearly on what you're doing. And so when I deliberately slow down, I tend to worry less and focus improves on whatever task I'm on. Just gotta remember that state of mind so that I can be productive continuously.

I'm still carrying on with my daily task list and it's giving me a continual boost to productivity. I can't always find the motivation to get through all the tasks so sometimes I change the order to make sure that the same ones don't get missed all the time.
also due to being more productive I've been missing on doing a proper daily sketch for a while as well, but I'm getting more back into my usual routine of doing it early in the day rather than leaving it last minute and then I have to rush a quick sketch.
I'm also finally working on finishing the first version of my own art program which will help me with low level sketches and processing WIPs. I had paused it for a while because I found a glitch that I couldn't figure out, but now I know how to fix it I can finally continue. I'm not aiming for any bells or whistles at the moment , just a basic drawing app.

Definitely getting back into the swing of things again, with the added bonus of higher productivity. Slowly getting through my long term tasks, especially a couple that once they're out of the way I'll have permanently more free time for my own projects.
Something new regarding my daily tasks that I've started to do is to block several together that I do without a break between them, and that's helping to improve productivity on days when I don't have much free time. A lot of my time is wasted on breaks which don't really help to restore my energy, just to distract me really.

Quite happy with the interesting composition of this sketch, but it's not great in terms of accuracy, I've been skimping on that lately I think.
Definitely back in the swing for the moment, but been very tired lately. But fortunately I've been more productive in my waking hours so it's a fair trade off at the moment, but I'd really like to be awake for more hours in the day XD

Last 2 weeks have been pretty hectic for organisation, I'm getting things done but not in the right order and it's a bit of a mess. But overall productivity on the rise and consistency also getting better. It looks like things are finally getting permanently in order, I've managed to find a system that works well with my personality to get things done.

continuously hit and miss for all my projects at the moment, but I'm still getting more consistent, and it's getting easier to start projects that I'm usually apprehensive about, because either I want to do it really well, or I just don't want to do it at all XD
So technically on a positive but room for improvement.
The pressure to perform well consistently, I understand it, but tbh the entirety of your sketches from July have been great I guess if one thing hasn't changed it's your ability to pump out art, I'm glad you haven't lost your passion
